Gilly-Well, you see it gives me a chance to pursue them. Prof. Williams-fTo Agricultural class as he crosses the tenth barbed wire fencel Now I have a few more points to touch on. Late to bed and late to rise, Thatis the way with these student guys, Early to bed and up with the sun, May make a man wise, but he loses the sun. Mr. WilliamsMThat'll do sir-your explanation is as clear as mud. Miky -Well, that covers the ground anyway, sir. Fresh-Why do they have knots on the ocean '? Soph-So they can have the ocean tide. A green little Freshman in a green little way, Mixed chemicals up for fun one day, The green little grasses now tenderly sway, O'er the green little Freshman's green little grave- fHeard in front of the Gymnasiumj Thelma-Letls go in and play suicide. Sara-Don't want to, it gives me the gym-jams. Miriam-Why is this letter damp? Margaret-Postage due, I suppose.

The mid-night hour was coming fast, As through the town a young man passes. One eye was black, the other green, But on his lips a smile serene, Displayed to those who stood about, That sundry teeth had fallen out, One leg was twisted all awry, Huge lumps festooned his starboard thigh, But though his battered form was bent, Still blightely on his way he went, And four others, just like him, Came limping thru the moonlight dim, The Basket Ball game was over.
